Lucas County Early Head Start

Lucas County Family Council has partnered with child care providers in the community to deliver high quality and comprehensive Early Head Start services for families in the county. We are currently offering services through Catholic Club, East Toledo Family Center, Educare Academy, Mercy Medical Center and Toledo Day Nursery. Twenty percent of the total Early Head Start grant funding money must be matched through donations. This match is called an In-Kind Donation. Volunteer hours and donations (materials or services needed by the program) count as a dollar amount toward this commitment. The dollar amount is determined by what the services would have cost if the program had to pay for them. Any donation of time, money, supplies, or other program essentials

counts towards our in-kind fund. Volunteers are extremely important when it comes to in-kind because the time they contribute has an assigned dollar value.
